Published: February 24, 2026

The landscape of B2B marketing is shifting, and at the center of this transformation is artificial intelligence. To help you navigate this new territory, the B2B Marketing Exchange (B2BMX) is introducing its first-ever AI Hackathon, a groundbreaking event designed to move beyond theory and into practical application.

Led by renowned AI trainer and industry disruptor Brent Wees, this session is for innovators ready to scale their content engines and redefine their marketing strategies.

Set for March 9, 2026, the AI Hackathon is a cornerstone of this year’s B2BMX conference, held at the scenic Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, CA. Get ready for the B2B Prompt Playoff—a high-energy, half-day “hack-marathon” where you will actively solve real-world B2B challenges.

More Than a Workshop, It’s a Sprint into Productivity

This session cuts through the hype surrounding AI. You will be placed into an elite squad with fellow B2B professionals to tackle complex marketing and sales scenarios. Guided by expert Table Captains, your team will compete against others to develop a comprehensive campaign strategy from the ground up.

Brent Wees emphasizes the hands-on nature of the event. “The AI Hackathon is not a talk about AI,” said Wees. “It is an interactive, hands-on session focused on real business problems. Participants leave with clearer thinking, stronger prompts, and practical workflows they can apply immediately inside their organizations.”

Your team’s mission is to plot, produce, and present a complete strategy. This involves everything from rapid-fire research and campaign ideation to crafting personalized messaging and developing content. The ultimate goal is to build a campaign that impresses the judges and provides a blueprint for success you can take back to your organization.

It’s an opportunity to test your skills, learn from experts, and see firsthand how AI can be integrated into your daily workflows to drive tangible results. Your team will battle it out to create a winning campaign that captures attention and delivers value.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of this unique event. The B2B Prompt Playoff is more than just a competition; it’s a launchpad for your company’s next phase of growth. Evolve your skills, connect with industry leaders, and learn to harness the power of AI to create marketing strategies that win.
